Hugs from J, the granddaughter of Prospero Poloso:0). Grandaughter of Prospero Poloso 27-Jan-2010 05:10 Kevin.Questioning about Prospero Poloso.I am his Grandaughter and your cousin.My Grandfather and your Great Uncle was truly a wonderful man.I got to meet him as a young child.I LOVED him.He died when I was about 8 years old.a very gentle and fun-loving man who got mixed up with the wrong people. My Uncle Sal on my mother's side of the family and who worked for the Supreme Court, extensively researched my grandfather's case history and discovered a travesty.AND I quote my Uncle SAL.' Guest 17-Mar-2007 02:23 Attempting to locate a family member who was a prison guard there. His name is William James Washington nick named 'Snookie Baby'. My research shows his birth date of October 27 1943.
He retired from the prison system and is collecting a pension. I have forwared a letter to his pension office, from me personally and through an attorney's office (for legitamacy only) but they did want to 'get involved'. I have data all the way to his supposed social security number but still no luck.
I am only trying to gather medical history and off spring for geneology records. Moe 24-Nov-2006 23:23 nice photos. TSing-Sing is eerily beautiful.
This is not just art, its history, and part of my reality. I am a former resident of this place (1980's) B-BLOCK & 7 BUILDING. Ironically, my wife is now an employee there. I am currently a program executive and doctoral student.
(Yes I turned my life around). Its funny how this place still is a part of my life. When I see your photos I am taken back to a period in my life that I am still trying to escape from. This was very therepeutic for me. Eventhough my wife works there I still have not been able to go see it from this side. That will be overwhelming, I'm sure.
Wendy 13-Sep-2005 23:54 Does anyone know about the Mutual Welfare League or the Rena Club? My great uncle was presented with a (hand scrolled?)document thanking him for all of his efforts by the Mutual Welfare League.
The document says that my great uncle was the president of the Rena Club. It is dated April 23,1926 and signed by the following: Theo Deacore, Director of entertainment (that name was hard to make out), Timothy O'hara, Sargeant at Arms and Frank Liuton, Secretary. I don't know what my great uncle did for the inmates but i do know he was very wealthy and gave a lot of money away. Anything you could add would be fun to know. Where is justice 12-Dec-2004 23:55 Thanks for these! Feels like a 'free' tour of Sing Sing, the infamous - not an easy thing to do in reality; and what it made 90% of tour-quality was your notes at the bottom to explain the photos, without which a tourist would not get even 5% of the emotion behind the subject. Your 'death cell' details, 'last meal' notes etc.
Gives me near heaving chills to imagine the Sartre-esque agony - real - of justice coming to sit softly in the laps of those its due to.Attempting to eat a last steak. Shackled to a padded-cell's urine and fecies drain, as wildeyedly the to-die prisoner may lunge the bars, at passing employees etc. Very well-done, sir. Poe-esque drama made lucid for us. Triple AA+ subject-choice. And the camera-work's pretty good too (wink).
